Lusaint Releases “Lie To Yourself,” a Kinetic Alt-Pop Anthem of Clarity and Grace
Like a neon truth scrawled in lipstick on a taxi mirror, Mancunian singer-songwriter Lusaint releases “Lie To Yourself,” the standout lead single from her EP The Apothecary (Pt. 1). It’s a bright tonic—alt-pop with soul sinew—designed for forward motion rather than post-mortems. The tempo doesn’t merely tick; it urges, giving her rich alto a moving sidewalk to glide on while the beat keeps its chin up and eyes front.
Objectively, the record is engineered for replay. A springy groove and uncluttered arrangement keep oxygen in the mix; rhythm guitar flickers, bass walks with quiet swagger, and percussion snaps like fresh elastic. Lusaint writes with pruned precision, refusing melodrama in favour of crisp accountability. Where “Summertime” exhaled jazz-tinted warmth, this cut strides—head high, heart armored, lips unbitten.
The hook’s pivot—“go on now lie, be yourself”—serves not as surrender but as diagnosis. She clocks the performance, names it, and continues down the street. That clarity becomes kinetic; listeners will feel their pace sharpen, shoulders square, and the afternoon tilt toward possibility. It’s catharsis with dance-floor etiquette: no scenes, just grace and volume.
What makes “Lie To Yourself” stick is proportion. Verses move the narrative, pre-choruses turn the wrench, and the chorus blooms with memorable symmetry. A compact bridge keeps the thermostat steady, then returns you to the chorus like daylight returning after cloud. Lusaint proves restraint can still sparkle: the song radiates gallantry without sugarcoating. File it under summer anthems for decisive hearts—elegant, unsour, and built to be walked to, briskly, daily.
